I have been fortunate to work in senior management positions at a number of Australia’s leading independent schools in four states. In each position I have made significant contributions to the educational direction of the school, achieving positive outcomes while working closely with parent groups, school administrators and teaching staff. I have a proven record developing visions to fruition and a particular strength in building cohesive and collaborative teams of teachers and support staff in schools which is vital for change management and ensuring innovative practices are at the forefront of educational programmes. I clearly understand the value of setting clear expectations for students and staff and the importance of leading by example which I believe is an essential trait as a leader.
